The odds of Vermont having enough snow to ski on the first week of December are slim to none. Other than, of course, the infamous White Ribbon of Death.

I have had many, many speakers and each improved a little each day for 100+ hours but this was totally unexpected and anything but subtle.
I purchased the futura's from hkval and they arrived in pristine condition....flawless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They sound incredible and no words can describe the clarity (even my wife said she heard things she never heard before). I will post pics tomorrow but I am speechless! Thanks Hkval it has been a wonderful experience to buy these beautiful speakers from you. I can't say it enough THANKS!

JOSH: From the very first contact, we both knew this was going to be a totally positive, trusting and rewarding experience. It is still mind boggling that Craters and Freighter picked them up at my house in Naples on Tuesday, boxed them in a customized wood crate and they arrived at your home near Houston on Thursday.
The more I hear about your joy with the Futuras, the better I will feel about having to part with them. The Graphite beauties will delight you for many years to come.
